I have seen elderly people miss a bus because of this. To me it is better not to brand buses if they can't be kept on the routes they are branded for.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13325561044328383800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-41767086268617513852014-07-04T15:24:15.448+01:002014-07-04T15:24:15.448+01:00Would you prefer an unbranded vehicle, or no bus a...Would you prefer an unbranded vehicle, or no bus at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-25605386902357705002014-07-03T23:45:59.184+01:002014-07-03T23:45:59.184+01:00520 was painted into swoops for a reason; to cover...520 was painted into swoops for a reason; to cover the 12 and 21s when one of the Blue or Red flash vehicles respectively are off the road for servicing/MOTs etc. The 12 requires four vehicles (501-504), the 21 requires fifteen (505-519) and 520 was painted into swoops to cover for 12/21s when one of these vehicles is off the road for one reason or another.<br /><br />Re the First Tavistock Enviros - indeed at least two were on the PR1 yesterday.

I reckon by that time the PVLs and 34/39 that are currently in that livery will have been withdrawn though, with just 67, 85 and 142 being what I'd reckon will be out of that livery and into swoops. That's just my guess though!Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-22226387835543711362014-07-03T22:40:26.335+01:002014-07-03T22:40:26.335+01:00Not struggling at all! if they didn't run the ...Not struggling at all! if they didn't run the services at all then they would have a lowered reputation but they provided the service with good, decent buses.<br />FDC have Torpoint Tridents and Tavistock Enviros running on services which you wouldn't expect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-14260316640162339782014-07-03T17:35:00.044+01:002014-07-03T17:35:00.044+01:00I also prefer the Best Impressions livery, is it C...I also prefer the Best Impressions livery, is it Citybus intention to eventually repaint these into the current livery?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13325561044328383800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-87343978912954116872014-07-03T13:40:14.481+01:002014-07-03T13:40:14.481+01:00Or like the 28,29,most of the 40's and 61 etc....Or like the 28,29,most of the 40's and 61 etc..
